Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 29-(By A.P.)-The special state election call. ed for Oct. 2, at which it is possible an initiative bill permitting the state legislature to convene and investigate state officials may be voted upon will be illegal in his opinion, Gov. J. C. Walton declared here tonight. The Governor would not say wheth- er he intended to prevent the elec- tion and declined to discuss his po- sition in the court fight of h's coun- cl to keep the initiative proposal off the ballot. "I have the power to revoke the special election," was the governor's only assertion. The state supreme court ruled Thursday that the elec- tion would) be legal. Governor Walton said he could cite many reasons to substantiate his claim, chief of which is the failure of the state election board to follow the law' compelling publication of election issues five days prior to the date for the election.

CHICAO OVERWHELMS AGGIES BY 34-0 SCORE Chicago, Sept. 29.-(By A.P.)-The University of Chicago opened its 1923 football season today with a victory over Michigan Aggies, 34 to 0. Within striking distance of the goal, the Chi- cago machine showed speed and drive, scoring two touchdowns from 20 yard forward passes, one from a series of line plunges, one on an Aggie fumble and one on a pretty broken field run by Captain Jimmy Pyott. The Ma- roons completed five out of six pass- es. The only pass', completed by the Aggies was recalled for an off side penalty.

SCOGAN Greater demand for tickets for all of the home games on the Michigan schedule has been evidenced this year than any season in the history of the Athletic association. Already the ticket sale for students and fac- ulty for the Marine game alone amounts to more than 200 more than the demand for both of the Conference games at a similar date last year. Minnesota 'Tickets Golng XFast If sale of tickets for the Minnesota game continues at the present rate, the Athletic association is confident that the stands will be sold out sever- al weeks before the game. For this reason they desire that students who wish to secure extra tickets send in their applications immediately. It is anticipated if the weather for the Vanderbilt and Marine games is fav- orable that a capacity crowd will be on hand for both occasions. Figures issued last night by Harry Tillotson, assistant director of the Athletic association, giving the num- ber of tickets sold to date this year SRAZEN DEFEATS HAGN IN FINAS First Extra Hole Match In History Of Natin's Pro' Tournament Ends At 88th.. EXCELLENT APPROACH FROM DIFFICULT LIE WINS TITLE1 Pelham Manor, N. Y., Sept. 29.-(By A. P.)-An amazigig recovery shot from a cray-fish mark beside the 38th hole at the Pelham country club brought victory today for Gene Sara- zen, the young Italian-American in- structor of Briar Cliff Manor and de- feat for Walter Hagen, the veteran,t in the professional golfers' associa- tion's most thrilling title match. Andt upon Saraen's head still rests thet crown he won last year at Oakmont, Pennsylvania. Victory for Sarazen in this, theE first extra hole final match in thet history of the professional champion- ship tournament came after an uphill< fight by Hagen who had squared the; match at the 36th hole after beingt three down at the 28th. They sorted an extra hole after Hagen had made1 an excellent recovery from a trap on the 36th for a half. Both sank putts of more than 5t feet on the 37th for birdie fours. Came then the tricky 38th, a 310 yard hole with a sharp curve to the green1 around a clump of trees. Hagen es- sayed a shot over the trees to thet green. His ball stopped on the edge< of a sand trap beside the gireen., Undismayed by his shot, Sarazen, played for the hole. His ball fell short in mossy ground sprinkled with the mud of cray-fish. Selecting a mashieI niblick he put the ball within two feet of the cup. This excellent shott drew the applause of the great gal- lery. When there was quiet Hagen stepped to his ball. Perhaps Sarazen's shot unnerved him for when he struck he looked up and his ball failed to carry out of the sand. His third shot curved toward the cup and seemed as if it might go in, then rolled to one side. Sarazen ks did not hesitate with his putt. It trickled in.

Ferris to Abandon Speaking Kalamazoo, Sept. 29-(By A.P.)-_j Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris will not make any more speaking engage-I ments for the present. The big Rap- ids educatorthere Friday to addressi the Kalamazoo Teacher's club, an- nounced that on the advice of a Grand Rapids specialist he will limit h:s speechmaking to a minimum. and at the same time in previous years give an idea of the situation. Already students and faculty have ap- plied for more than 9,000 more tickets for the Ohio State game than at the same time for the game two years ago when the Ferry Field stadium was dedicated. The alumni already have been allotted the maximum 13,000 seats this year while in 1921 they had only applied for 6970 on Sept. 29. Demand Greater Thin Ever. At this time last season, the total alumni demand for tickets for the two home games, Illinois and Wiscon- sin, amounted to only 13,625. To date the total for the two home Conference games is 25,400, land for the four re- served seat games 35,676. A similar increase is shown in student and fac- ulty demand which last year amount- ed to 4,267 by Sept. 29 and at the present time totals 15,696. When the applications for the Vanderbilt and Marine games are added, the total for students and faculty reaches 24,597. Alumni have applied for 2,964 tc- kets for the Vanderbilt game, 7,312 for the Marine game and 12,314 for the Minnesota game, while the figures for student and faculty are as follows: Vanderbilt, 4,398, U. S. Marines, 4,503, and Minnesota, 4,363. Since the 13,000 maximum fixed for the Ohio State game has been reached, $17,157.50 have been returned to alumni foi whom there are no accommodations. UNNIESITY GLEE CLUB CALLS FOR TRYUTS' LACK OF OLD MATERIAL HINDER', PREPARATION FOR MIDDLE WEST CONTEST First call for the University Glee club has been issued by the board in control of the University Glee clubs and all men who intend togo out for the club are asked to report from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock and from 7:30 to 9 o'clock Monday in the upper reading room of the Union. The Glee club is starting under difficulties this year, for at present there are no standing members in the club. All those who have had any vocal experience are asked to tryout. George Oscar Bowen, director of the Glee club, will give all the tryouts a chance to sing in quartettes this week so that the membership of the club may be determined. The club is also in need of an accompanist and ex perienced pianists along this line are asked to report. John M.

Elmer C. Upton, '20, will be the Michigan representative on the board of the Intercollegiate Glee clubs at Chicago. Success Assured To New TheatreI In Opening Play Hubert Henry Davies' vivacious comedy, "The Mollusc" was presented with great effect last night at the Whitney by the Michigan Repertory theater. It was the first performance of this company in Ann Arbor. The play itself is very 'amusing. It deals with the type of lady who sits in a chair-"the only comfortable chair in the room"-and complains of excessive weariness. When she gets up in the morning she blames this lassitude on the excitement of the night before; after a long day's rest she sighs for a good night's sleep to recover from her fatiguing activity. The comic situations that naturally! developed from the combination of, this mollusc of a woman with a little; worm of a husband, a blustering bro-- ther, and a pretty governess were well handled by the capable and happily chosen cast. William Franklin as the husband was especially effective. ie is the sort of actor who makes one laugh by simply standing with his hands in his pockets. If the Michigan Repertory Theater satisfies all its audiences as complete- ly as it did those who attended itsj opening in Ann Arbor last night, thei project will eventually be a success.f "The Mollusc" was a good play, but it was also a play that anyone could enjoy. Those who came to admire art were not disappointed; and the others, hoping against hope that they. Chicago 34, M.A.C. 0. Iowa 20, Oklahoma Aggies 0. Brown 34, Haverford 0. Willams 34, Hamilton 0.

FORD ASKS HRA COAL CAR ECEE Washington, Sept. 29-(By A.P.)- Henry Ford filed a petition with the Interstate Commerce Commission to- day, asking reconsideration of its July decison in the assigned car case which, he contended, would have "a. widespread effect on the price" of Ford cars.- The general result of the decision which Mr. Ford complains was to re- fuse coal mines, and utilities owning their own coal cars, the right to con- trol those cars in the shipment of fuel. The Ford petition sa'd that two fac- tories owned by the Ford Motor Co. used more than 3,000 tons of coal a day; and, that, in addition to acquir- ing coal mines at various places, the Ford interests also had purchased $1,- 807,000 worth of steel coal cars. If the commission's decision stands, the petition concluded, there will be a serious loss to the company- A number of utlity companies, rail- roads and others also have petitioned for a rehearing. BURTON COMMENDS REPERTORY PLAN President Marion L. Burton, in speaking of the Michigan Repertory Theatre movement yesteday, made the following statement: "The Michigan Repertory Theatre is meeting one of the most obvious and at the same time serious needs of this University and community. We must not criti- cize our tastes and standardis in any realm without attempting to provide the means by which they may be im-I proved. In the dramatic field in par- ticular the lovers of real art are forced to lead impoverished lives. Many very practical difficulties con- tribute to this result. Now we have a chance to prove what our real he- niands are. The Michigan Repertory Theatre is organized and directed by those whose training, experience and standards of judgment can be relied upon to present to us plays of the highest merit. To fail in our support, generous and continuous, of this en- terprise will be conclusive indica- tion of our actual needs.

P.)- Nineteen killed, three missing, nearly a score seriously injured, and almost a million dollars property damage were the results of a combined torna- do and cloudburst in western Iowa and Nebraska Friday night. In Council Bluffs, Ia., fire followed the tornado and destroyed warehouses and private homes. The rear of the Strand theatre was hurled into Indian creek. Twelve houses in a row were ota lly demolished. From three to six feet of water ran through the busi- ness section and the damage was set at approximately $250,000, while five persons were known to be dead. Peculiar Disaster at Louisville Louisville, Neb., was the scene of a peculiar disaster when eight mourn- ers were killed when the house shel- tering the body of Mrs. Mary McCra- ver was swept into Mill Creek. Dr. A. A. Ward, a physician of Marquette, Neb., was killed when, blinded by rain and hail, he lost control of his car which turned over in the ditch. Several persons reported missing at various points are believed to have been carried away by the streams which are swollen out of their banks (ue to the heavy rainfall. Another deluge of rain and hail struck the city tonight and lasted about an hour. Cots and blankets for the homeless were obtained from the Red Cross and a school house is being usedl as a relief center. Approximate- ly three square blocks were razed by the tornado. Louis J. Horowiz Louis J. Mor~owitz, president of a na-, tionally known construction company, has left for Italy to ask permission o.f Premier Mussolini to rebuild ruinedl Messina.

Although none of the contests were of import- ance in the deerm nation of places in the standings in the sections, due to the fact that the opening conests of the large schools were played with smaller oponents, the outcomes of the games enables estimates of the strength of the teams to be formed. In the leading games of the east, the Army disposed of the University of Tennessee while the Navy ran up a score of 3I to 10 over William and Mary college. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, the "Big Three" of the east remained inactive. Iowa Wins In the central west, Iowa defeated the Oklahoma Aggies while Notre Dame disposed of .Kalamazoo. Other large Big Ten teams, with the excep- tion of Chicago who took the Michi- gan Aggies into camp, remained inac- tive. Iowa's reorganized eleven triumph- ed over the Oklahoma Agg es 20 to 0 at Iowa City. Oklahoma was un- able to cope with the lawkeyes' end runs in which some of the new mhen gave an umexpected goodhaccount of themselves. The line up included but five veterans.
